Rockland, Maine - Life in the music world at Rockland District Middle School
is full of exciting opportunities this year! In addition to our normal spring
concert, there are a couple of extra events happening.
On Thursday,
April 3, the Symphonic Band from the University of Maine at Orono will be
playing a brief concert in the auditorium at OHS-E. As one of the finest
collegiate bands in New England, this will be a wonderful opportunity for the
band students to witness a professional group and see what they can achieve with
time and practice.
On Tuesday, April 29, a UMaine alumni, Christopher Keene,
will be coming to RDMS to hold a school wide assembly. Christopher G. Keene speaks about
the power of singing to bond communities and families. He brings groups of
people together through beautiful traditional music. Community Sings are
mass events bringing any number of people together to join in song. Groups
range from a few singers to hundreds to thousands, and are usually untrained
non-musicians who make up the audience of a choral concert. Keene
